Mike Power had a big impact on me as a kid, he beat the Six Million Dollar Man to market by a few months and he was a pretty big deal on the play ground. He was of course, pretty much forgotten once Steve Austin lumbered onto toy shelves.The Sea Wolf Submarine, also seen on […]
My Pal Jesus sent me an email full of pics of incredible 300 figure plus G.I. Joe collection and mentioned to me that it’s for sale. He has Joes from all over the world, Italy, Canada, Spain and most of all, Mexican Lili Ledy Joes which are different from US versions. I’ve had dozens of […]
I did a page highlighting some of the cooler monster toys of last year’s Halloween features and thought today was as good day to point it out. There’s nothing quite like phoning it in is there?
They fight by night with the power of light! I really fun one today the 1978 section of the Hasbro catalog devoting to SuperJoe, G.I. Joe’s futuristic kick at the can. Joe took a four year holiday after this, come see why! Also come check out our newly redesigned website, now with 50% more smooth.

While I never had this great set, I ogled it dozens of times in the amazing GI Joe Adventure Team Viewmaster set. So much to love in this thing; ropes, rifles and reptiles!
Another happy memory for me is Mike Power: Atomic Man, rumour has it that Hasbro didn’t want to license the Six Million Dollar Man series so they beat everyone to the market with his G.I. Joe equivilant.Hasbro gave Mike and interesting back story, a cripple who built his own new (clear) bionic limbs to replace […]
Skydive to Danger is to me the coolest GI Joe set ever and not just because I had it as a kid. The scenario of Joe parachuting into the Web of a cool giant Spider to me, has the perfect elements of childhood, a dose of reality and a big heaping hand of kid logic.My […]
